Nissan’s Pathfinder can handle a family and its stuff with the looks and capability of an all-wheel drive crossover, rather than a minivan. For 2017, Nissan has updated the Pathfinder by tightening its headlight design, redesigning the taillights, and adding a more aggressive grille. Inside, things look much the same as the 2016 model, and that’s fine, because the Pathfinder has a great cabin.

The Pathfinder gets a 3.5-liter V6, which has been updated for 2017 to make 284 hp—up from 260. That’s a noticeable bump. Whether it's pulling away from a stop light, getting up to highway speeds, or even making a pass at highway speeds, that added power is noticeable, and it also means a larger 6,000-pound towing capacity—1,000 lbs more than the Pilot and Highlander can manage.

The Pathfinder has 8 cup holders, 6 bottle holders, and plenty of cubbies and compartments. All trims get 7-passenger seating with a middle bench and a 50/50-split third row. Access to the third row is easy, though as third rows go, it’s middle of the pack. Read more on CarGurus: https://cargur.us/gpvHm
